  • He (the saint) calls the people to the Portal of Grace; he calls unto God, saying, “Give (them) release in full!” 1805
  • خلق را خواند سوی درگاه خاص ** حق را خواند که وافر کن خلاص
  • He earnestly strives to admonish them in regard to this, and when it does not succeed, he says, “O God, do not shut the door!”
  • جهد بنماید ازین سو بهر پند ** چون نشد گوید خدایا در مبند
  • To the vulgar belongs (only) the particular mercy; the universal mercy belongs to the hero (the perfect saint).
  • رحمت جزوی بود مر عام را ** رحمت کلی بود همام را
  • His particular (individual) mercy has been united with the universal: the mercy of the Sea is the guide on (all) the ways.
  • رحمت جزوش قرین گشته بکل ** رحمت دریا بود هادی سبل
  • O (thou who hast the) particular mercy, become joined to the universal: deem the universal mercy the true guide, and go (forward).
  • رحمت جزوی بکل پیوسته شو ** رحمت کل را تو هادی بین و رو
  • So long as he is (only) a part, he does not know the way to the Sea: he makes out every pool to be like unto the Sea. 1810
  • تا که جزوست او نداند راه بحر ** هر غدیری را کند ز اشباه بحر
  • Inasmuch as he does not know the way to the Sea, how should he act as a guide? How should he lead the people towards the Sea?
  • چون نداند راه یم کی ره برد ** سوی دریا خلق را چون آورد
  • (When) he becomes united with the Sea, then he guides to the Sea, like a torrent or river.
  • متصل گردد به بحر آنگاه او ** ره برد تا بحر همچون سیل و جو
  • And if (before this) he call (the people to God), it is in a conventional fashion; it is not from vision and the revelation of any (Divine) aid.
  • ور کند دعوت به تقلیدی بود ** نه از عیان و وحی تاییدی بود
  • She (the Shaykh's wife) said, “Then, since thou hast pity on all, and art like the shepherd (going watchfully) around this flock,
  • گفت پس چون رحم داری بر همه ** همچو چوپانی به گرد این رمه
  • How mournest thou not for thine own sons, when Death, the Bleeder, has pierced them with his lancet? 1815
  • چون نداری نوحه بر فرزند خویش ** چونک فصاد اجلشان زد بنیش
  • Since the evidence of pity is tears in the eyes, why are thine eyes without moisture and tearless?”
  • چون گواه رحم اشک دیده‌هاست ** دیده‌ی تو بی نم و گریه چراست
  • He turned towards his wife and said to her, “Old woman, verily the season of December is not like Tamúz (July).
  • رو به زن کرد و بگفتش ای عجوز ** خود نباشد فصل دی همچون تموز
  • Whether they all are dead or living, when are they absent and hid from the eye of the heart?
  • جمله گر مردند ایشان گر حی‌اند ** غایب و پنهان ز چشم دل کی‌اند
  • Inasmuch as I see them distinct before me, for what reason should I rend my face as thou doest?
  • من چو بینمشان معین پیش خویش ** از چه رو رو را کنم همچون تو ریش
  • Although they are outside of Time's revolution, they are with me and playing around me. 1820
  • گرچه بیرون‌اند از دور زمان ** با من‌اند و گرد من بازی‌کنان
  • Weeping is caused by severance or by parting; I am united with my dear ones and embracing them.
  • گریه از هجران بود یا از فراق ** با عزیزانم وصالست و عناق
  • (Other) people see them (their dear ones) in sleep; I see them plainly in (my) waking state.
  • خلق اندر خواب می‌بینندشان ** من به بیداری همی‌بینم عیان
  • I hide myself for a moment from this world, I shake the leaves of sense perception from the tree (of my bodily existence).”
  • زین جهان خود را دمی پنهان کنم ** برگ حس را از درخت افشان کنم
  • Sense-perception is captive to the intellect, O reader; know also that the intellect is captive to the spirit.
  • حس اسیر عقل باشد ای فلان ** عقل اسیر روح باشد هم بدان
  • The spirit sets free the chained hand of the intellect and brings its embarrassed affairs into harmony. 1825
  • دست بسته‌ی عقل را جان باز کرد ** کارهای بسته را هم ساز کرد
  • The (bodily) senses and (sensual) thoughts are like weeds on the clear water— covering the surface of the water.
  • حسها و اندیشه بر آب صفا ** همچو خس بگرفته روی آب را
  • The hand of the intellect sweeps those weeds aside; (then) the water is revealed to the intellect.
  • دست عقل آن خس به یکسو می‌برد ** آب پیدا می‌شود پیش خرد
  • The weeds lay very thick on the stream, like bubbles; when the weeds went aside, the water was revealed.
  • خس بس انبه بود بر جو چون حباب ** خس چو یکسو رفت پیدا گشت آب
  • Unless God loose the hand of the intellect, the weeds on our water are increased by sensual desire.
  • چونک دست عقل نگشاید خدا ** خس فزاید از هوا بر آب ما
